An Australian classic that I'm happy to see getting new life on the back of the latest movie. A beautiful story about the connection between one lonely boy, growing up isolated on the Coorong & the 3 pelican chicks he rescues & hand raises- Mr Proud, Mr Ponder and Mr Percival.Told with few words but lots of imagery, this edition is enhanced by the beautiful illustrations of Robert Ingpen. - Susan (QBD)
